  The following issues in the text need to be addressed before this can be passed for GA:

Lede
  • "Hurricane Hillary was a Category 3 hurricane..." Might want to clarify "East Pacific"/"Pacific Ocean" or something, as the reader could presume it was an Atlantic hurricane otherwise.
  • "Nearly stalled as it underwent a Fujiwhara interaction..." Would suggest just "as it interacted with" and move the Fujiwhara comment and link to "Meteorological History", to tighten and simplify the lede a bit. The fact it intereacted is sufficent for the lede, I think; how it interacted can be explained in more detail later.
  • The line about watches and warnings is slightly confusing. The threat ended? Then started again? Suggest similifying this a bit.
    • Yea, it ended, but started again, but explained that further via a wikilink to. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:37, 29 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Meteorological History
  • Should wikilink convection and tropical wave.
  • "the depression intensified into..." suggest "the depression intensified, becoming..."
  • "atmospheric circulation..." does this mean Low-level Circulation Center? I'd assume the circulation would be fairly easy to find, but pinning down the center might be difficult.
  • "meteorolgists remarked the possibility of making landfall..." Bit of a grammar issue here. Perhaps "meterologists suggested there was a possibility the storm might make landfall..."
  • "downgraded into a tropical storm..." suggeest "downgraded to a tropical storm..."
  • "while most of the mid to upper level moisture..." suggest adding "associated with the storm" immediately after this.
Preparations and Impact
  • "further advisories were issued..." What sort of advisories?
    • Watches and warnings.
  • "Heavy rains, peaking at..." suggest "Heavy rains, with a maximum recorded amount of..."
  • "Baja California Peninsula", shouldn't that be a lowercase P?


  •   Pictures are all appropriately licensed;
  •   References are from reliable sources and are inline appropriately, meets WP:V, WP:RS, WP:NOR;
  •   Appears to be free of copyvio/paraphasing/plagarism concerns
  •   Covers the topic well without going off on tangents;
  •   Is neutral and stable;
  •   MOS adhered to.

I'm putting this   On hold until the grammar/text issues above are resolved. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:29, 29 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
